#with this new anime everyone can just expect me to be crazy for like 3 months

[ador3him]

Sooo if I just start dumping brain rots here, I hope you don't mind. I need a distraction from worrying over work and losing sleep. And I figured why not share the thoughts so you can feel free to elaborate!

I loved when ppl would do the dad!dream team head cannons. But here's me with my insanely dirty mind going, yeah all 3 of these boys def have breeding kinks. But I feel like it would manifest in different ways based off their personalities.

Dream:

- I feel like he is the type of bf to absolutely spoil tf outta his partner. He just wants to keep you happy and support you in achieving your dreams. He's so thankful to have you, constantly worrying he'll lose you. Definitely gives me the vibes he would propose quickly, like 3 yrs max into your relationship, bc of it. He KNEW you were HIS! Like possessive but in a good way (but more on that in a few)

- Definitely teases you every time you need to refill your birth control... Like you complain about having to call and refill the prescription and he just goes "Or you could just not😏" "Oh you wish," you roll your eyes in response.

- or if you have an IUD or implant and you need to get it replaced and you're freaking out about the pain. Of course he wouldn't want you to endure that! Luckily, he has a better alternative idea!

- dream is the type to absolutely go feral on your wedding night. Officially having you as HIS! Yes, youve been intimate before, but this is where his breeding kink really comes into play. Definitely makes it a point call you by his last name at every opportunity.

- SIZE KINK! That man is so tall 🤤 And if it wasn't apparent by him having a series called "manhunt," he loves that he can easily over power you. 

- your place is seated on his lap cockwarming him while he works

- I could see dream wanting a bigger family (3-4 kids) He's so close to his parents and siblings. Plus he has such a big heart. Having his own kids with you is a dream come true.

- they say that animals can tell when you're expecting. So of course, Miss Patches is the first to know about her new sibling. She's actually how you found out! One morning, you wake up to Patches laying on your stomach purring. She proceeds to follow you around the house, never leaving your side. She's lovey, but usually never this clingy. When you proceed to get sick later on bc of a bad taste or smell, you and Dream start to put the pieces together. Your suspicions come true when you both are starring down at the positive test in your hands.

- patches is your best buddy throughout your pregnancy. You can expected once the baby is born she'd sleep at the foot of the crib. 

- OMG all the crazy baby shower ideas he'd have. He's just crazy excited to share the news with everyone.

- dream would cater to your every demand. He's just so appreciative that you're carrying your baby. He's definitely the type to hold your baby belly to give your back a break. He also low key grateful your sex drive hasnt decreased too much. You'd have to keep him at bay during the last month of your pregnancy if you don't want the baby coming out early 🤣

- singing to your baby bump and his heart exploding every time he feels the baby kick

- he holds your hand the entire time you're in the hospital. He's so scared for you. He won't leave your side, constantly making sure u have whatever you need, even if it requires bribing the nurses /j

- he's SO SO proud of you! The sight of his partner and baby melts his heart! Omfg definitely has a little striped (blue or pink) cat beanie for the hospital.

- he is the type to take you and the kids on different family trips like to see football games and the beach.

Sapnap:

- he's definitely more the reserved type. Doesn't want to rush into things you arent ready for. But don't let him deceive you, he fantasizes about you pregnant in a sundress, with your swollen belly and tits, regularly.

- once you both decide it's the right time, there is no stopping the beast. It's his fucking mission to breed you multiple times a day

- that being said, he downloaded a app to track your ovulation cycle. Whenever he gets a notification, he immediately drops what he's doing and is on you in an instant

- sure Sap is on the shorter side, but he is still taller than you. And sure as heck broader. Again is the type to love that he can easily manhandle you

- again Milo and Naomi are the first to know and are your cuddle buddies

-also gives the vibe of wanting a bigger family (3-5). Also googled what a group of pandas is called, an embarrassment, a cupboard, or a bamboo. 

-will also spoil the crap out of you and the baby.

-he gives the vibes of construction dad. Like already putting up the fence and swing set in the yard and the kid isn't even born yet. But this is very useful during your nesting phase, so your house gets a make over

-loves setting up the nursery with you and picking out baby clothes and stuffed animals 

-he gives the vibes that he would enjoy going to like those couples birthing exercise classes with you. Like you both get a little workout and get to socialize with other couples (That's so random but it makes sense to my brain)

-scared asf when you go into labor. Panic mode activated! He gives the vibes where you wouldn't know if the doctor is giving breathing instructions to you or him. He would fight anyone who pissed you off tho. Full papa bear mode, just wanting to protect you. But it's all worth it when you and the baby turn out fine! 

-Will definitely ask the doctor when you can get pregnant again

-Dad bod.... Yup, no explanation needed. 

-he would be the coach of his kids sports teams. You will be the mini van parent. He's constantly playing with them outside. Definitely a road trip dad.

-would love doing his little girl's hair.

George:

-breeding kink goes brrrr. He would be such a dilf omfg 🤤

-even more reserved relationship wise. Doesn't want to rush anything. Just wants to appreciate your relationship. Not showy of your relationship either.

-you wait to have kids for a while after being married. You have to figure out if you'll live in the US or UK.

-that doesn't mean however that your sex life is boring. If anything it's polar opposite and you're surprised you didn't end up accidentally having kids sooner. Especially with George loving to mark you as his

-whether it's constantly having his hand on you whenever your out, the constant array of hickeys on the two of you, or the fact his cum is almost always buried in you. There is no doubt in your mind that your only HIS.

-george gives cuddle sex vibes. Like cock warming and somnophilia are 2 things up his alley.

-im tired of the George is short slander! That boy is lanky! And he can definitely put you in your place! He loves that if you're on the smaller side he can encompass you. And if you're taller, he loves that you submit to him.

-He gives me the vibes that one day he will just decide to wisk you away somewhere for a month long vacation and you aren't coming back without a baby in you.

-He gives me the vibes of being a dad of twins. Will tease you that you're such a fertile couple he put 2 kids in you, and that you'd have to be careful not to have more.

-As soon as he finds out you're expecting, he goes into research mode. Definitely reading books on what is best for you to eat to avoid nausea and he cooks for you. Just wants to make sure you are taken care of.

- Definitely tries all your weird pregnancy cravings with you

- cuddles constantly. He would love talking to your belly and would rub your back and feet for you. He holds your hair back and rubs your back when you're sick. The pure joy on his face when he feels the baby kicks. So protective of you too! No one is coming near you. Him and you keep your relationship private and your pregnancy a secret til the babies are born.

- OBSESSED with your pregnant body. Worships it. Like if you're ever insecure, he can't fathom it. Makes his point to prove just how much he loves it😉

- side bar, man definitely has a lactation kink

- he doesn't want you to be worried at all and you both do a lot of research. So when you go into labor, George is your number one supporter. Gets you all your favorite foods so you aren't hungry when u can't eat. Holds your hand during your entire C-section, kissing all over your face and constantly telling you how much he loves you.

- when both babies arrive, you both are holding them, cuddled up on the hospital bed. He feels like his life purpose is complete. He is in awe of your strength and how tiny the babies are. Will make sure to count all their fingers and toes and fuss over every little hair on their heads.

- when it's just the two of you in the room, you cuddle and take a well needed food break and fall asleep together.

- he would be the one to check on the kids at night to let you sleep

- he's so smart so he'd be the best to help with homework. And you bet the kids are carbon copies of him!

Okay that's my rant.... I have to try and sleep now bc work 😴 have a good day!

omg I'm obsessed with this. little points I wanna expand on.

SAPNAPS DAD BOD IS SO REAL HE WOULD OMG. AND THE CONSTRUCTION THING!!! he would totally build a tree house or clubhouse for your kids.

GEORGE AND YOUR KIDS WOULD BE HIM. His brown, thick hair would be the main thing they got along with his pale ass skin. And the way he would be so protective of you and your kids. He would def not show you or your kids until it was like really serious and your kids are born. He would blur out your kids faces though and only refer to the kids as nicknames not their real name.

Dream would be obsessed with breeding, on your wedding night he could barely make it to your hotel room. He'd def research beforehand to know the best positions for impregnating you. And he for sure have mini cat hats ready for your baby when they're born with their name embroidered into it.

Just got out of my first viewing (spoilers so tag accordingly)

Yeah that was the most ridiculous shit ive ever seen and i had a blast lmfao.

--

To get the few negatives out of the way: Syclla and Tiamat got COOKED. That's crazy. Especially Tiamat. I had no idea she was in the movie and like choked on popcorn when they said her name. First onscreen appearance and she dies in like 3 seconds... sucks to be her. But honestly... this is probably one of those moments where Fan Content messes with the perception of a canon thing, at least for me. It hurts a lot more because of the emotional attachment from stuff like Ozymandias's story, Shamhat, and other adjacent stuff. If I had never seen those and watched her die I'd probably think "oh she had a cool design, but whatever". But yeah, my only serious complaint is her being shafted and I don't even really think I can call it objective because there was definitely an attachment there.

Ok besides that this might be my new personal favorite Monsterverse. Could be recency bias but I don't think so. Every human is at the very least entertaining. Everything Trapper did in this movie made me crack up, hearing Bernie say the words 'Discord chat' and 'Ghidorahstan64' (i stg this was a callout of some kind) onscreen gave me terminal whiplash, and although Jia and Andrew's story was sorta surface level, it was still endearing. I'd rather have a good human storyline, sure, but if we can't have that I'll settle for entertaining.

Here I thought Suko was gonna be an annoying marketing ploy to sell toys... I physically snorted in the theatre when Kong slammed him into that one ape. MVP of the film lmao. Mothra was... also there. Yeah, it really shows that she was a last minute addition. But DAMN she sent Godzilla ROLLING with a single attack. Speaking of, I don't think the Tia-Zilla form was as underutilized as I've heard people say it was. Especially that new Atomic Breath effect. Holy eargasm.

Oh man though, Shimo and Skar are fantastic. Skar hits the same beat as like a Celestial Dragon or Vladimir Harkonnen with way more grace than I would've expected from a big monkey. They go shockingly dark with his treatment of the ape-slaves and Shimo... especially with that female ape insinuation.

Holy shit poor Shimo, man. I honestly thought the Skar controlling her aspect would be kinda downplayed and just regular mind control, not genuine torture of some kind. I love that they let her have characterization by resisting him at every chance she gets, and that the pain control isn't always active (i'm assuming that's the insinuation of keeping her all chained and behind magma, it depowers and restrains her when Skar's not actively using her), further insinuating she gets merciful breaks from hellish enslavement only to be yanked back into it whenever Skar needs something turned into a popsicle. I think my favorite moment in the film is right after Suko shatters the crystal and the light blue luminescence fades to reveal her actual eyes for the first time. Eyes are used throughout the film to show subtle humanizing features, like Godzilla falling asleep in Rome, Kong's wide eyes when he sees his kin, and shock when Shimo realizes she's free. Having her eyes glowing the whole film makes her seem way more monstrous and inhuman, so when that suddenly goes away she starts getting framed as just an animal. Also her eyes are pretty. Also, I lied, that wasn't my favorite part of the film. My favorite part was Kong giving her chin scratches and that cute half-hug. This needs to be normalized. He needs to hug Godzilla next film. I will pay someone a king's ransom for this to happen. Final little detail, I like that Kong doesn't do his final roar from on her back but standing next to her, on the same level as all the other apes. He doesn't look to elevate himself over her or everyone else like Skar did, which is a great touch.

Also also also: Think it's time for a Doug solo film where he tries to steal all the Titans' food. Make it happen Legendary.

Much agreement here! I'd love for a solo Mothra MonsterVerse film to really capitalize on her lore and give her stuff to do (without dying at the end preferably); maybe establish some connection between the Chen family and Jia. Also, I need a little shot of Mothra going to visit Godzilla while he's sleeping in the Colosseum and just cuddle up to the big lug.

Andrews and Jia were a welcome breath of fresh air after GvK reversed Mark's characterization and Madison became... that. There was still some slight tension between Jia not feeling like she belongs and Andrews wanting to do right by her, even if it means possibly giving her up, only for Jia to go "you're my mom, you're my home, stop being dramatic". You love to see it.

Adding to the Doug solo film idea... Shimo adopts him because he's cute and she thinks his shenanigans are hilarious. Let us have fun wholesome times!

Y/n had been working around the shop for a few hours when someone came to visit. 

The day before, she desisted from tidying the shop and just go home because the costumers took every bit of her energy. It wasn’t like a mass of people that came through the front door or anything like it, she wished. The same amount of costumers came to the shop on Saturday, although a woman kept her walking around and holding books she didn’t end up buying because she complained about the prices. Y/n cursed the woman behind her back when she left. It wasn’t nice, but she was angry and tired. So, the night before, the best idea was to leave the books and made them a problem from future her. 

The owner of the shop threw the rag she used for whipping the front desk and turned around. Y/n was meet with an interesting view. Matty was peeking through a crack he made after opening the door slightly. A few centimetres below Matty’s height, a loud sniff could be heard. 

Y/n listened him say a quiet ‘ah, ah, be a good boy’ which made her smile.

“Hello?” she shouted. 

Matty’s eyes met hers through the little space. He pushed it open a bit more, trying to show his face.

“Hi!” he greeted her. Matty was excited, after all, he hadn’t been around the shop for months.

“What are you doing?” Y/n asked him, a laugh escaping through her lips.

Matty didn’t tell her, instead he asked, “Can we get inside?”

“We?”

“Um, my dog and I.” the singer clarified. “‘ m not sure if he’s allowed here.” he finally revealed the reason behind his actions. 

“Come inside!” Y/n cheered up knowing a fluffy friend was with him. She loved animals like crazy. The idea of a dog brought up her mood even more than just seeing Matty’s face on a rare Sunday. 

Matty fully opened the door, letting his dog and himself inside. Y/n gasped a little like a child. The dog was even more beautiful than its owner. 

“Sit.” he commanded, the beautiful black haired dog obeyed. 

Y/n kneeled in front of them, meanwhile Matty stayed behind his dog, holding the leash because he knew Mayhem could get way too excited about meeting new people. 

“What’s his name?” she asked, staring into the dark brown eyes of the dog, who was looking at her with his mouth open and his tongue hanging out. 

Matty let her know he was called, “Mayhem.” 

Y/n dared to extend her hand, giving the animal the time to sniff it, so he was sure she wasn’t a danger. Mayhem licked Y/n’s hand and pushed forward towards her body. 

“You’re so beautiful, Mayhem.” she said, letting her hand touch the hair covering his head and scratching behind his ears. The dog loved it. 

“He likes you.” Matty stated after admiring them interact for another minute.

“Do you cutie?”

Matty couldn’t be mad about Y/n giving her entire attention to Mayhem. He was very far from that. The singer loved finding out she was a big dog lover like him.

After a while, Y/n felt very self-conscious and even thought she was being rude, almost ignoring Matty’s presence. She petted Mayhem some more, pushing herself up to be face to face with Matty.

“How are you?” Y/n gifted him a shy smile.

“I’m alright. Wasn’t expecting to see the shop open on a Sunday.” he admitted. 

“It’s actually closed.”

In a fast movement, Matty turned around so he could have a look at the front sign. It indicated the place was in fact closed. He felt a wave of embarrassment.

“I’m so sorry, Y/n. I thought- I didn’t-” Matty tried to explain his actions.

Y/n stopped him, letting her hand touch his, “It’s okay, I was tidying up and going home.” the short contact brought a tingling sensation to Matty’s skin. 

“Do you live far?” the singer found himself asking. 

“A few blocks down the road.”

“We will escort you!” he offered.

Y/n moved a step backwards, “No, please.”

“We insist.”

“We?”

“Yeah, definitely we.”

“Okay, if Mayhem insists…sure!” Y/n teased him.

***

The front door of the bookshop closed with a characteristic sound. Y/n turned the keys and tried the knob, checking it was actually blocked. After that, the journey back home with the boys started.

“So…” she spoke first, unsure of her words. “You look-”

Before she could complete the sentence, Matty added, “Exhausted? Horrible? Disgusting?” which made her chuckled. 

“Tired and different, I was going for.” 

“Different?”

“Mhm.”

“What do you mean?” Matty asked at the same time they stopped under a three, so Mayhem could pee. 

“I’m not sure.”

“Come on, you can say.”

“I- I haven’t seen you in almost two months…of course you’re different. Probably got a hair cut.”

Y/n thought a million different things when he came through the door half hour ago after not seeing him for long months. It had been the first time he spent that long away from the shop since the first time they met. She wasn’t going to admit right away she had missed him, his presence. Y/n did think he looked different, but it wasn’t only a superficial change, like his hair or anything similar. His eyes didn’t hold the sadness any more.

“You didn’t mean it like that.” Matty confront her, starting to walk forward again. 

“I did.”

He didn’t hesitate to accuse her, “Liar.”

“Matty!”

“Just tell me.” the singer nudged her arm with his elbow. 

“Not heartbroken any more.” she admitted finally.

Now it was time for Matty to go quiet after a simple, “Mmm.”

“Ah, no! You can’t do that to me now that I’ve said it.”

It was meant to sound like a joke, although Matty’s face and mood changed visibly. Y/n worried something she must’ve said was the reason.

“I feel different.” Matty told her, looking in front of them, seeing how Mayhem leaded the way. Without him noticing, Y/n left all the shyness and admired his features. She admitted it to Kate before, it was impossible to deny it: Matty was very handsome. 

“That’s good, I think?” 

“Being away from here helped.” 

Y/n’s heart broke a little hearing him said that.

“Oh.” her eyes drifted to look at Mayhem too. 

“I just…all here reminded me of her.”

The shop owner kept her feeling buried, trying to focus on his words.

“I get it.” 

And she did because everything around her reminded Y/n about Jason.

Inevitably, silence fell between them. Matty and Y/n walked behind Mayhem for another block until one of them broke the quiet ambient. 

“I did miss the bookshop a lot.” the singer admitted. 

Knowing he was touring around the world made Y/n believe that was just a lie to make her feel better. 

“Bluffing.” she scoffed. 

“Y/n! I’m serious.” Matty fought back, turning half his body towards her, but she ignored him.

“Work was good then?”

“Yeah.”

“Great.”

“How about the shop? Another regular taking my place?” Matty joked.

“Nah, just Kate and me.”

“I’d like to meet the Kate.” because he really did want that. He thought Kate would probably give him the information he wanted about Y/n. 

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea.” she hesitated. 

“Why?” 

“I love her, but…”

“But-”

“She’s going to ask you a ton of questions.” Y/n wasn’t wrong, Kate would be civilized from the start until all her inhibitions flew out of the window, and she started asking secrets about the band. Or even telling Matty about Y/n’s secrets or old embarrassing memories they shared. 

“Nothing out of the ordinary for me.”

“Mmm.”

Y/n got inside her head a little, feeling how knowing he was a rock star at the same time she faked she didn’t know was weighing on her. Although making him uncomfortable wasn’t the idea.

“Why so apprehensive? Is she going to reveal your deepest secrets?” 

“Hundred percent yes.” Y/n nodded.

“Then I really want to get to know her.” Matty watched how Y/n shook her head from side to side, smiling. A big one on his face matching hers. She was so sweet and beautiful. “I can bring Mayhem again.” 

“That’s blackmailing.” Y/n pointed her finger towards his face. And before Matty could say anything more about meeting her friend, Y/n informed him, “This is me.”

Matty and Y/n stood face to face like inside the shop, with the only difference they were in front of her house. 

“It’s getting what you want.” the singer didn’t want to let go the previous conversation. 

“Do you want to meet Kate? I can give you her number.” she would love that, it didn’t matter she was currently dating someone.

“I don’t want her number.”

“Okay.”

Something weird happened with the silences between them. For a few seconds they were awkward, although sooner both adults felt okay with it. Those moments didn’t cut the conversations or interactions between them, the opposite, in fact. Every single of them made the friendship stronger, made it comfortable enough for Matty and Y/n to feel free to stay in silence, talk when they feel it, or even bring a dead conversation back. 

 “Can I have your number?” Matty inquired, surprising her.

“I-” Y/n stuttered. The months without speaking were pushing Y/n to just do it, but an alarm inside her head was also loud.

“It’s okay, I’ve shouldn’t-”

“Give me your phone.” Y/n interrupted him. 

Y/n took the device on her hands, ignoring every single part of her mind that shouted ‘stop or don’t’. Every thought was silenced when her eyes meet the pic Matty had of two dogs sleeping on a big couch occupying all the space as his background picture.

“Who’s this one?” the girl pointed to the dog that she recognized it wasn’t Mayhem.

“Allen, my other boy.” Matty said like a proud father. 

“He’s so sweet.”

“He’s a big boy.”

Y/n continued talking, asking, “Where’s he?” without doing the task she was meant to do.

“With my mate, Sam. Mayhem and Allen live with him. We can’t take them together for walks, so he went to the park and I walked around the neighbourhood.” Matty shared with Y/n.

“Ah.” she simply said, returning her sight to the phone. “Sorry, it blocked.”

After a quick and awkward exchange of the phone, Matty returned it. His calloused fingertips meeting the soft skin of her hand. Y/n tapped quickly on his screen, saving her phone number fast.

“Here.”

“Thanks.”

“Well, I’ll let you enjoy the rest of your day.” Matty wished her. 

Y/n’s features didn’t lie when she said, “I’m enjoying it.” and the singer felt his cheeks warm even though the air was cold.

“Let’s go, M.”

“Goodbye, boys.” Y/n waved behind them.

“Bye, Y/n.”

Once they were out of her view, Y/n got inside her house, sensing her phone vibrate. She took it out of her pocket and opened the newest message.

Hi, this is my number. I forgot to tell you that I missed our chats. See you later, Y/n. Matty xx

Y/n replied a quick, See you soon, Matty x paying zero attention to the mix of feeling on her belly.

Hey do you have any akatsuki stories you’d recommend? Or just enstars stories in general? I’m still new to the game but I’d like to understand the characters more :3

I’m super flattered you’d ask me!! My reputation as the Akatsuki Guy continues to precede me huh… I also want to say I have a friend who is working on an akatsuki story masterlist right now, which will go into more depth than I might.

well! this got much longer than i expected! using the read more feature to spare all of you.

In general, for any era of enstars stories, I’d recommend switching between event stories and gacha stories, especially for any reminisce stories. The reminisce stories have some of the best plot driven writing in enstars, but almost all of them deal with heavy topics and are pretty darn long (Meteor Impact is currently the longest enstars story outside of the SS finals at 54 chapters!). This goes for any unit that’s from (!) era.

Also, when I say (!) era and (!!) era, I’m referring to the game the story is from. Anything from (!) era is from Ensemble Stars Basic, and anything from (!!) era is from Ensemble Stars Music. The timeline of Basic takes place a year prior to Music, and the units Alkaloid and Crazy:B are not present in any Basic stories (you probably already knew that but it never hurts to overexplain!) As for the aforementioned reminisce stories, as they’d have you believe, these stories take place prior to the events of Basic by a year. All of these stories, with the exception of Obbligato, were written during Basic’s game run. These are the stories that The War(tm) (which you may have heard of) takes place in.

ok now for the actual story recommendations… all of the (!) era stories can be found on the Wayback Machine (they used to be on the enstars wikia until they were taken off in August 2021), and (!!) era stories may be fan translated, but all will be officially translated in the English app (someday).

Please keep in mind these are all just recommendations! Read whatever you’d like at whatever pace.

For (!) era, I recommend reading the main story first. Akatsuki is pretty relevant in it, and it gives you a pretty good idea of their character at the start of the game. The main story is also covered in the anime, but it doesn’t give the most comprehensive takes on some characters. Think of it as watching an abridged movie version of a book.

After that, I recommend reading the event story Tanabata, which is a pretty early on (chronologically) story featuring both akatsuki and ra*bits, then read the event story Quarrel Festival which is an event story I’ve read at least five times at this point, and features akatsuki and fine. These are both pretty good stories for understanding akatsuki after the events of the main story (these stories take place in the summer, while the main story takes place in the spring).

After that I really really recommend reading the Underdoctor gacha story because it’s very cute and fun and you probably need a break after Quarrel Festival. Then you should read the Hanafuda gacha story and the Cats and Camelia event story. These are both pretty light reads too which is nice!

Ok did you have fun reading light and easy to understand content? Because the next couple stories will not be that in the slightest. Repayfes is super important, because it’s (chronologically) the last story before (!!)’s story. Akatsuki is infamously not the main characters of this story - It’s primarily an UNDEAD and 2wink focused story. Nevertheless, it’s still important to read, especially for reading Crossroad, which is what DEADMANZ (the band that’s mentioned in Repayment Fes) is from. I could get a phd on this story it drives me absolutely crazy. Really good story for all 3 akatsukis but it primarily features Keito and Kuro. After that, buckle in, we’re reading Meteor Impact. This is like the big bad enstars story everyone talks about that changed their lives. It’s good, yes, but I’m begging you, dear reader, please read it for akatsuki’s moments too, and not just Chiaki and Kanata - they’re the featured 5 stars, yes, but this is an incredibly important story for akatsuki as well, not just ryuseitai and MaM.

Speaking of MaM I hope you like Madara because I’m making you read Shinsengumi next. Long time friends of mine know how much I love my little darling boy Madara Mikejima so you bet I love this story. It’s also a really good Kuro story so you bet I love it even more. Epic win. This story is not a reminisce story, so you’re finally free. It’s kinda heavy content wise Kuro talks about his mom and Madara does some mind game bullshit with multiple people but I HIGHLY recommend this one. Trust me

There’s also a song that goes with this one!

Ok and last but not least for (!) event stories, I recommend the Cinderella event. This one is a pretty fun read compared to whatever the hell Shinsengumi is. Kuro breaks a window. Keito wears a dress. Stellar content. I also think you should read the Four Beasts of Fistfighting gacha because it’s very important to understanding the Dragon King B1 which - wow! - is first mentioned in the Main Story! It’s like one big circle huh? Crazy

These aren’t every single akatsuki story, as well! Feel free to pick and choose gacha stories that feature any of the akatsuki members in them. I have some personal favorites, but they don’t really add any Lore context you’d be missing. Comic World and Onigashima are two of my favorites of these.

Ok that’s it for (!) content! This is already waaaay way too long so I’m so sorry.

For (!!) content, I recommend first reading the Music Main Story. Akatsuki isn’t a main character in this one, but they do have some important updates on what each character is up to and how akatsuki is doing as a unit after Kuro + Keito have graduated.

Now, this is where some stuff gets hard. Every story in the Japanese version of Enstars Music will eventually be translated, but engstars is about two years behind, meaning this post may be outdated soon! If there’s a story on here that looks cool and you don’t see it on engstars, know it’ll be there eventually! You can also look for fan translations online. Many translators do not like their translations being included in master lists, so I will not be linking to any direct translations in this post out of respect.

My number one recommendation for a music akatsuki story is Blade and Fist (also known as Unification by Force). It’s currently available to read on the English version, as it was Kuro’s center event. If you’re not an akatsuki fan after reading the over a dozen stories I suggested, this is gonna do it for you. It’s such a good story I highly highly highly recommend it!

I also recommend Spy the Mission (no souma in this one but keito + kuro are very prominent in it) and Vagabond (all of akatsuki is in this), for stories currently out in engstars. It also never hurts to browse idol stories of the three - the idol stories tend to be a lot more lighthearted and less plot relevant, and have the idols interacting with each other! Very very cute and fun. I recommend this for any idols you like, honestly!

Well, you made it. You read my entire word soup about akatsuki stories. Congrats. Did I mention it took doctors 20 years to realize I was autistic.

If you have any other questions please ask me!! Keep in mind this isn’t a comprehensive list at all - All of akatsuki have tons of other stories they’re in, these are just some of the most “important” ones!

have a wonderful night my dear sweet anonymous asker

[pbandjesse]

I had a shockingly long and busy day. I was not expecting that. But I ended up teaching essentially two workshops between camp and creative alliance. But now that's its done I actually feel great mentally. Physically I'm very excited that I don't have to leave the house tomorrow.

I slept fine. But I did not want to get up. And since I knew I didn't have my first workshop until 1230 I knew I could get away with sleeping a little late. I set my alarm for an extra hour. James came in to give me a kiss and say goodbye but they said something about boxes and I was half asleep and couldn't figure out what they meant so then my brain wouldn't turn back off and I didn't end up falling back asleep.

So I just stayed in bed an extra half hour before getting up. I got dressed and had cereal. My hair is driving my a little crazy. It looks so nice when I first wake up but then just looks crazy throughout the day. I also think the top layer is breaking which is frustrating because I don't really know how to fix that. I may start wearing braids more especially since it's getting so long. I don't actually want to cut it shoulder length again right now but we will see if I stick to that.

I left here and got to camp around 830. I went straight to art to load up my wagon with all my painting supplies. But I was not feeling good. I think I've figured out that if I'm standing or laying the nausea is not terrible. But sitting down kills me. But then I am tired from standing and want to sit. It's a lose lose.

Once I was ready to go I would set up my hammock and just chill in it for an hour. My car blanket was still in the laundry so I wasn't as cozy as I wanted but it was nice to just lay there. I really need to figure out how I can hang a hammock at our house. There isn't an amazing space for it. But I think it would really make me feel better to have that somewhere. I'll investigate that soon.

Around 930 I went down to the office. It was a pretty quiet morning. I would find some step by step guides for drawing turtles and snakes and salamanders. I thought that this would be the most helpful for having the adults paint. It's like hey maybe you don't have an idea but you could follow this or you can do whatever you want I'm not your mom. And I thought that since those were the animals they got to meet yesterday they would enjoy them.

And I was very right! But that wouldn't be for hours.

In the mean time I would play around online. Sent some emails. Watched TikToks. I would have my lunch at 11 even though I wasn't actually hungry. It was just soup and it was really nice.

Heather had me scan some stuff for the land trust and construction projects. I was eavesdropping on their meeting a little. Not on purpose but the walls are pretty thin. It seems like there is issue moving forward with the rising ring because of the new building in the woodlands village. I don't 100% understand why but it sucks and I hope the are able to solve it.

Finally though I could head over to the lodge. The ground was really really muddy so getting my wagon over there was precarious. But I made it. And when I did get over there the group also asked me to bring a mop over to one of the cabins and to help turn on the heat. Can do!

So I helped with those tasks first before I set up a table for my painting materials. And then I would draw out a tortoise for me to paint. I like to teach by example. And in this case (and many cases) my example is just working along side them.

And this worked out well. They are adults and there were 3 other stations they could chose. Horsemanship, Zipline, and bb guns. I would end up with 4 people over the two hours but honestly it was so nice. Everyone was just doing their own thing. Sometimes coming over for advice. I would go around and encourage and point out things I thought was nice about their techniques. The one guy had brought his own canvases so his was much larger then everyone else. But it was honestly just such a lovely afternoon. I painted my tortoise. I chatted. I laughed with them when the staff was singing and being so silly. It was a good day. Even if it was shockingly gross outside.

Which made getting my wagon back to art horrible. Getting it through the mud and then up the hill was not fun at all. But thankfully I did not fall and the wagon didn't tip over. It just made me a bit exhausted.

So after I put everything away I had to take a half hour to sit at the office. Joe let me know they a neighbor is going to adopt Bobbi cat. I'm so thrilled. They deserve a good home. I hope they are gentle with them.

When I got back to the office after talking to Joe about the cat, Sarah gave me a really nice pumpkin muffin. Which was so kind of her. I would sit at my desk and enjoy that. Talked to Alexi and Heather about my pregnancy symptoms. And after checking in about next week's field trip I would head out.

I decided I wanted Burger King. I just thought that a veggie burger would be nice. And I was mostly right. It was a weirdly long wait at the drive through when they didn't seem to have any other customers. But it was fine.

I ate in the empty parking lot. And while the food was very good I would feel a lot of stomach pain half way through and I was sure I was going to throw up. I would breathe through it and be okay but it was upsetting that that keeps happening. I should be able toe at a single burger without getting so sick!!

But I had a plan. I needed to get home by 4 so I could sleep for a little before my workshop. I needed to do that to make it through. I was very anxious about the workshop. Like I always am. So sleep was important.

And I would sleep. I got home and changed into a sweatshirt and laid down and was out pretty quick. And it was a good little power nap. I woke up at 5 and James was home. I wasn't feeling amazing but I had to shake that off.

I got redressed. And spent a little time cutting out canvas because I realized I didn't have a great plan for how they were going to practice stitching. I would lay on the couch for a few minutes with James talking about our days. But then I had to go.

I would honestly feel a lot better by the time I got there. Still nervous but some teens would let me in the building and I would go set up. We were doing the workshop in the kitchen because the dance class was stomping so loudly again. And it was still loud in the kitchen but not as bad. I got all set up and waited for people to come in. We did t have a desk person tonight so it was a little tough getting people in the building but we managed and all 8 showed up which was awesome.

And these guys were new new new to sewing. So we absolutely started with the basics. Here are all the materials. What types of fabrics. How to use different materials for different applications. And I'm so glad I brought the canvases. I drew on each one so they could follow guides for the 5 stitches we learned. And we would talk about how each one can be used, both for making it for mending. And it was just a really awesome evening.

We had a lot of laughing and chatting. I worked on my own sampler so they could see what they needed to do. The hardest part for them was tying the knot at the end of a row but I think they the end they understood my trick or just tied it like a shoelace. Either way was fine with me. I was being as encouraging as possible and problem solving. We talked about how to see a button. How to find the needle through the back of the fabric. A running stitch, little x's, a back stitch, a whip stitch, and a blanket stitch. And once we got to the blanket stitch I had them cut out little felt pieces to make a pin. Which was very cute and they all did so good. I was super proud of them.

Slowly people started leaving. To go to dinner or trivia. The last two ladies were chatting with me and helping me pack up. And then it was goodbye and see you next time.

I have two more workshops on the calendar. I didn't realize that the class catalog had my workshops on the first page! And my face/part of my face with a project on the 4th page. It was really cool to see. Made me feel really excited.

I carried my basket of materials to the car. And headed home. I was excited to see James at their desk when I walked it. It's the best part of them moving their office to share my studio. They are usually right there and it makes me happy.

We would sit on the floor and talk. Played with sweetp. Mostly just poked and pet him. But eventually we came upstairs. James went to shower and I worked on this.

But it is time for me to wind down now. Tomorrow I am hoping to have a productive morning at home. I want to move out cleaning products to the basement. And do some organizing in the bathroom. And then in the afternoon we are getting out new backdoor and I'm so excited to get a door with a window. Game changer for sure.

I hope that it all goes smoothly. And that I don't feel so sick. Fingers crossed.

Goodnight everyone. Sleep well. Until tomorrow.

3 & 9 for the si lore asks!!

help this turned out way longer than i had first expected so i put it under a readmore... got me wanting to update her lore doc

3. how do the other characters generally feel about your self insert?

other 5 bros go from wanting to attack choro with bricks for bagging a girl to accepting her as a new permanent fixture in their lives pretty quickly. they dont believe she exists when he first talks about her and when she finds out choro's a sextuplet (bc of course he would hide this for as long as he can) shes like O_O SO MANY... she thought having 2 older siblings at home growing up was a lot

oso and totty lowkey bully her in different ways meant to be friendly/older sibling-like but totty's 2 seconds away from getting punched at any given time for a while lol. ichi's a little scared of her at first because she seems too friendly, jyushi's just happy to have someone around who will entertain sports shenanigans, kara is overjoyed to have someone around who doesn't die of cringe whenever he opens his mouth or shows off a new outfit

she tries to be super normie around their parents but they raised 6 neets so they can immediately tell shes hiding something. they dgaf when they realize the Something is that shes a big nerd lol they're just happy she has a job and supports herself

iyami she clearly dislikes and tries to hide it to varying levels of success. he holds up her end of this by never acknowledging they're about to throw hands so it's kinda hard to watch them interact

riceballs, totoko, chibita + others she is all more or less on friendly terms with :3 i have some of these outlined in more detail in her lore doc!

9. who are your self insert’s closest friends?

canon charas... choro and kara, nyaachan and chibita would be too if they had more opportunities to hang out! choro and yuuchan are slow burn 4ever before they actually get together, mushy nasty friends to lovers scenario. sickening. they're an endless feedback loop of dumping anime and idol stuff back and forth to each other for hours because they dont have any other outlet to do it with LOL

with kara she can tolerate (+ enjoys seeing other take psychic damage from) his personality quirks and they have fashion sense thats kinda out there compared to whats considered normal... they are prob the closest after her and choro and they have a fun sibling dynamic :D

nyaachan and chibita she probably considers friends more than they do with her... she has to hide bits and pieces of her likes and personality around them but they are easiest out of all the side characters for her to talk to

others ocs... i love to talk about/play toys with @/girlymatsu's erina and @/ichikos's izzy most of the time LOL i think this is where the real meat and potatoes comes from, talking about scenarios is the most fun idea to me. blinks my big wet eyes @ everyones ocs i <3 throwing our dolls at each other

this makes me want to make additional ocs for her to be friends with though o_o!! some normie passing and some crazy otaku like her. she would be very careful to never let the streams cross with one another leading to the most failgirl situations youve ever seen in your life

- i want to smoke with him. that is all

- he’s a giggly high/drunk, he just constantly laughs and is lovey dovey and :,)

- night showerer

- he’s the type of guy to have ur post notifications on but never like or comment and when you ask him abt it he’s like “oh i just like to see when u post :3” like ok?? support me???

- jealous easily but never toxic, does that make sense??

- you’ll be talking to someone and he materializes and goes “SO IM THEIR BOYFRIEND MY NAMES JAKE IM REALLY BADASS AND SCARY.” like relax king the cashier is not trying to fuck me

- he’s a switch :3 i already mentioned that but it’s true

- he gets bed head like crazy

- he does random little vocal noises sometimes that are similar to a cat going “mwerp?’ if you know what i’m talking about you’ll agree

- expect anniversaries and birthdays and holidays to be The Biggest Deal to him especially as an official couple

- the handsomest baby girl ever :3

- anyways that’s all i can think of rn so. enjoy.

[princess-marida]

sooo..

i have officially read the very last chapter of my hero academia and theres some stuff i wanna say, a dedication of sorts; it has been a surreal 4 years for me and in part i have to thank bnha for that

not only was it the fandom/source material that practically carried me through the pandemic, it got me to be more active on ao3 and got me to make more internet friends... ok friends it's too much i only met @succulent-momma but you get what i mean lol (also check out her work!) ((babes thank you for being part of this journey and letting me into your life <3))

it's insane to look at my ao3 stats and realize that for 3 years straight bnha was my biggest category or works bookmarked. 3 years straight!!! i got to familiarize myself with 20 crazy kids, their exhausted homeroom teacher and villains that once again told a reality many are too blind to accept. yes some stuff wasnt established the way it was expected of it and we can talk about it in a bit.

first i wanna talk about my favorite character, it's no secret that bakugo katsuki, our one and only dynamight, stole my heart from the very first time i saw him in theaters during the 2nd movie showings. i knew NOTHING. i remember classmates at uni talking about "todoroki this" and "midoriya that" what i came to learn was the sports festival arc, but like always i got into it much later. so seeing this guy on the big screen, being all full of himself but backing all his knowledge and strength i said "oh yea he the rival here no doubt" but not only that i was "oh he important he actually went side by side with the protagonist and somehow stole the show!" yep straight to the heart that one, always number one in everything huh? bakugo hold such passion and growth i just- i wanted to hold such passion and determination and growth as well.... perhaps i have leaned too much on fanon bakugo, stuff people established through the good years in fanfiction, but either way it's not far of a shot to say bakugo was the best hands down. he practically grabbed me from my shirt and propelled me to another world; new stories, new characters, new relationships, new forms of oc reading (reader inserts), buying merch, creating oc's of my own; overall a whole new world.

so... bnha ended, and it wasnt that great either.... how could midoriya not go into heroics after everything he went through? what happened to the core of the story; everyone can be a hero? (yesyes him being a teacher works to boost future heroes but you know what i mean), how come he lost contact from his class for 8 years? there are some things i did like, how characters continued on their missions after the war (civil rights, quirk counseling, change in society attitude, a sharp decrease in criminal activity). i'll be honest, i stopped reading chapters a long time ago, and why watch the anime when i already knew what happened you know. i was kept on track because of meta posts and analysis and commentary, save to say i kept on being notified on the bullshit that just... well... not to expectation. on the other hand i wonder what keeps a guy from going through a plot point that is obvious to everyone and is the most heavy emotional wise, not to mention it makes the most sense according to established themes...

but like the ye old truth says, it can be fixed on fanfic LOL no?

all in all... i guess i will keep on hearing about bnha until the anime is over, im not even sure i will watch its last episode tbh but i cannot ignore the impact it created in me. it was a glorious wave this one... i wonder when will i catch the next one

thank you bnha for the ride, and thank you little bro for taking the whole family to watch the 2nd movie way back then.

[sweetfushi]

here for the bi-weekly (?) JJK check in <3

I’m gonna to rank my top 10 before I go crazy so at least you have SOMETHING comprehensible in this ask 😭

1. choso 2. toge 3. megumi 4. mai 5. toji 6. nanami

7. shoko 8. gojo 9. yuji 10. geto. reluctantly

OKAY THE SERIES. the animation was insane. I expected it but still. insane. THE RENDERING FOR THE LIGHTS IN CHOSO VS YUJI YUMMM MY ARTIST HEART WAS FANGIRLING THROUGH ALL OF IT I miss digital art loads

jjk 0 had a lot of missing potential imo :( esp based off of what I hear the manga has in terms of plot, I wish they executed it a little better. I admit I was a little disappointed it wasn’t as good as the main series THO TOGE & YUUTA’S DYNAMIC IS ADORABLE I LOVE THEM

you’ve probably noticed but I already have an obsession w choso & it looks like it’s going to last 🙂‍↕️ I’m changing my username sometime last week to include him HNGGG IM DOWN BAD ZEE HES SO !/!!.!:!:!!:’dndndnd HES SO FINEEEEE UGHHHFHHFHF

what first drew me to jjk was mai bc have u SEEEEN HER ?? everyone was calling her a bitch so I obviously stayed away for a bit but I regret that. U HAVE DONE ME A SERVICE THANK YOU.

I have a gojo fic & a toji smau in my drafts <3

NANAMI AT 6 IS BORDERLINE CRIMINAL ANYTHING LOWER IS AN OFFENCE

the animation in general was so so so amazing and the yuji v choso fight - the colours and lighting were giving almost retro or street fighter vibes

i don’t actually remember too much of jjk 0 since i watched it when it first came out BUT i think it felt lacking because we’re so used to the dynamic of the main series that we forget that 0 is a whole different dynamic centred around the events prior to the adrenaline rush that is jjk. I DONT REALLY REMEMBER TOGE AND YUTA’S DYNAMIC BUT I CAN REMEMBER IT WAS CUTEE

i saw a few pictures of him during the last fight in the shibuya arc and i have to say i do kinda see the appeal !!! like i’d let him kiss me goodnight he’s a sweetie pie. WHAT’S YOUR NEW USER GONNA BE TELL ME TELL MEE

mai is cool ig to me she’s just there 😭 but she’s an absolute beast if they gave her more screen time in the show she’d be an interesting character i do think she’s underrated !!!

MWAH MWAH IM SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED ML I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT JJK CONTENT YOU HAVE FOR US <3

Stream-of-consciousness thoughts for TriMax Vol. 2, Chapters 6-7 below.

Chapter 6: Home Sweet Home

Is this Wolfwood or Midvalley? Someone else? I'm thinking Wolfwood 'cause the hair and the build look more WW, but the white suit makes me think Midvalley. Whoever he is, he looks so smol in the closeup of his crying face.

Scruffy hair plus cut to WW reinforces WW belief.

I like how a chunk of Nightow's aesthetic for civilization is, "What if small, mundane thing, but the size of a house?" Also, tiny Vash!

Drowning in sand sounds... unpleasant.

Hahahahaha, Wolfwood's love language is punching.

It's very trusting of Vash to take "I Know Too Much About Knives And Won't Tell You Why" Wolfwood to a place he'd dare call home.

Here's Wolfwood tactfully pointing out the differences between the two of them instead of throwing it in Vash's face that Vash isn't human.

Ugh, Vash is so worried about this place....

But it's ok. There's not so much to worry about, after all.

Gosh, the contrast between these two panels, one before he knows what's happened, and one when he realizes that, for now, everything's ok.

WELL NEVERMIND THEN. A THOUSAND YEARS TRAUMA FOR EVERYONE.

Fuck this guy.

Chapter 7: Darkness

I'm just gonna make a small note here that, on the title page, the shot of Vash from a lower angle behind him makes it so his hair looks almost completely black.

Wolfwood <3

I know enough to understand why Puppetmaster's saying Wolfwood's method's twisted, but... I also know enough about Wolfwood to know it's not nearly that simple.

Oh, no.... Not Unica.... /s :|

Welp. Definitely reading a seinen. They wouldn't get away with that kind of anatomy in a shonen.

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope

This Vash is pretty much bristling right now. He's got both guns out, and the only parts of his body that aren't drowning in the bristles are his hands (which need to be steady for holding his guns) and his hips (suggesting his feet are firmly planted where they need to be).

Wolfwood looks concerned.

Actually, Puppetmaster looks a bit concerned, which is kinda dumb of him because he's the one who caused all this. Or... maybe he's just sweating because he's wearing so much black in a freaking desert.

Oh, Vash....

Shoot, there's another Gung-Ho Gun here.

That's a REALLY big hand.

I wish I knew what the heck was happening in that explosion panel.

You know... I'm actually kinda glad I was so late on getting to these two chapters. Now I can start on the next volume without getting too far ahead of the game.

Author Bonus Chapter: Anime Talk

All evolution eventually leads to crabs. Apparently, Nightow is not immune to this.

I mean... you're not missing much by skipping Titanic. I'd sooner rewatch Starship Troopers myself. At least that was hilarious.

(Also, I just realized he kinda called it "Starshit Troopers." Honestly... fair.

The other day I was at an anime con and a mangaka whose story is now an anime basically said the same thing. It's very much a dream come true for them.

This is the cutest thing Nightow has drawn. Except for sleepy Vash.

I mean, might as well shoot for the stars. I've long had a bit of a soft spot for Madhouse myself.

Yeah, my brain would pop out of my head at that kind of news, too.

Aaaaand I would promptly explode upon hearing they were gonna move forward with it.

Ohhh, this is sooooo indicative of the shows that were popular at that time. It was absolutely a ton of mecha, magical girls (this was pre-Madoka), harem, and guy-oriented romances where a crazy amazing weird girl just dropped in the life of some loser-boy.

Lucky for us all, Madhouse hasn't exactly built a reputation for themsevls as being "normal."

No wonder Nightow is thrilled about Stampede. He's getting to see his story adapted to an anime not once, but twice. And it's making people fall in love with the older versions of it all over again.

LOL, "Yoshimura Something-san"

That meeting was too long. No meetings should go for 13 hours.

LOL, Nightow being so excited about action figures. POSABLE action figures.

About me!

Hello, I’m Iri!

If you have come here from my Stranger Things twitter or my AO3, welcome.

I’ve been around fandom for a long time and on tumblr for longer but I wanted to start fresh here.

I’m a multishipper to my core. I love Steddie in my grubby little rat heart but I’ll ship anyone with Steve, Eddie or many combinations of my little barbie doll characters. 

I have no tolerance for any hate. I’m into a lot of Dead Dove concepts, A/B/O and I refuse to tolerate ship or character slander.

I’ll be accepting prompts and headcanons as I love interacting with people and bouncing ideas around.

I love to write and I’ve been trying to push myself to write more so I’d really love to be pushed out of my comfort zone to write! I have no preferences really on dynamics or top/bottom so if you’re interested we can bounce ideas around!

IWTV Ask Game

2. How did you find out about or discover it?

i'd seen the movie before and when the trailer came out i thought it looked really good so it was on my radar before it came out. but the reason i actually started watching was that i was disappointed in house of the dragon bc daemon and rhaenyra weren't a toxic enough couple when they actually got together and i wanted to watch some toxic romance. lol

ok long version of the story! (sorry if you don't care about hotd lol)

i was really excited about hotd after the trailers started coming out and like the freak i am, i was especially excited to see the insane uncle/niece incest grooming go from gross to fun when they eventually marry and fight a war and everything goes wrong and they're both crazy and toxic and evil. that's my idea of a good time. this shot from the trailer in particular had me excited for this dynamic:

and the beginning was so promising, their scenes when she's still a teenager played by the younger actress milly alcock are very intriguing! creepy but intriguing.

but then episode 7 happens. i knew ahead of time that the plot of the episode was that daemon's wife has just died and at her funeral he fucks his niece, as you do, and then suddenly rhaenyra's husband also dies and they get married for succession war reasons without permission from her father the king who would fucking hate this. insane sequence of events! and i'd heard that the marriage ceremony was going to be valyrian rites with blood and stuff. for the uninitiated, valyrian refers to the (mostly) lost civilization of blond people who ride dragons and do incest and they're rumored to have done blood magic and stuff. so i had high hopes for this whole valyrian marriage rites scene. a blood sacrifice? some animal or...? an altar with LOTS of blood! their dragons take to the air! they should fuck on the bloody altar while their dragons fuck in the air! either way the visuals will be insane and amazing!

yeah, so the episode airs. and i'm BORED. they made this shit boring somehow. the dialogue is bad and so is the directing. they have a bland conversation about their respective marriages and then have some tepid sex. it just doesn't look like they're that into it even. was that intentional? i cant tell. other more interesting stuff happens and then close to the end of the ep shes like uncle i need you so i can win the eventual war that everyone knows is going to be break out so we should get married. hes like hmm ok. but shes already married so they fake her husband's death so he can sail into the sunset with his boyfriend. toxicity and evilness toned down as much as possible. then they marry and the valyrian ritual is just like. fine. no dragons. they cut their palms so there is blood. if i saw it without prior expectations i'd probably think it was kinda cool but i had built it up in my head to be way cooler so.

in the next episode they kinda just act like a normal couple. despite the whole incest age gap uncle niece grooming shit. i wanted them to be screaming. i am sad about it.

im on tumblr and i see a post with a jacob anderson quote saying iwtv is basically a show about a married couple slamming doors on each other. i'd seen some gifs and ofc i'd seen the trailer months ago but this makes me go !!!!! THIS could be the toxic marriage i was looking for! i go watch it immediately. two episodes have aired so far but it only took me one to fall in love! new obsession unlocked! louis de pointe du lac is my truest love!

at that point im barely able to give half a shit about hotd anymore, i dont even watch the last two eps until days or weeks later. (in the last episode daemon and rhaenyra do get more interesting as they have some tension over him acting like he's in charge even though she's the queen and he's just her consort. he also strangles her a bit when he gets upset, which is very unsurprising from a misogynistic violent man who murdered his first wife (of 3) but some people were shocked. insert iwtv comparison here.) (i've also rewatched hotd with new eyes recently and enjoyed those episodes a lot more when i didnt have my own expectations clouding everything. i WOULD recommend the show for anyone who thinks family drama leading to a literal war feat. dragons sounds like a fun time. it is good and hopefully will be continue to be! also that quote from the showrunner saying daemon wanted to marry his brother and his niece was the closest he could get to was fucking life changing. ryan condal said gay targcest rights. also rhaenicent<3)

anyway iwtv becomes my #1 obsession from episode one and has stayed that way ever since!

iwtv ask game (sorry for mostly talking about a whole different show here lmao)

GET TO KNOW YOUR ADMIN !!

name — Calamity or Phantasma.

pronouns — She/her.

preferred comms — Discord or Tumblr IMs. Either is fine. I'm a shy bean, so I'm not good at messaging people in ooc really, but it's not that I don't like you or anything! Just me being awkward as hell.

name of muse — I have a few, but I'd say the main ones I use are Gundham, Junko, Bakugo, Mikey, and Fubuki. I use Benedikta a lot on a different account.

experience in RP — Since 2003, so it's been 20 freaking years now of on and off RP life. Feeling old now. I started on xanga as Bankotsu from Inuyasha. It was a lawless RP land back then. Everyone god modded and one lined, but it was a grand time. My Bankotsu got so many of those sacred jewel shards.

best experiences — I have many. The first days of RP were certainly some of them. I actually met quite a few people from RP in RL. I would say the best of the best was when I met a group of Danganranpa RPers on anirp, and we did different story-lines all together. The one guy made up stories and events for the characters. I was Gundham. We also did the despair storyline which I think was my favorite, because I was able to do despair Gundham and made such a great backstory and I got so many compliments from the group on how I portrayed him(I guess he was pretty similar to the joker according to some.) I got my own event where i tried to kill all the other remnants with my animal army. We also did a really fun persona storyline. I got to be the fem p3 protag and had a love triangle with Shinji and Akihiko. ;) There was some drama with the group, and the leader talked a lot of crap cause I was busy and missed a lot of events though, so I ended up leaving.

pet peeves / dealbreakers — My number one is the one thing I will block you for: If you ask for a starter and then never reply. I have very little time to write and I can't stand people wasting my time. Another is drama of course. I come to RP as an escape, not for more stress. It also annoys me if someone posts a starter call and I like it, but get ignored. Why did you follow me back if you don't want to RP?

muse preference ( fluff, angst, smut ) — Fluff and angst are by far my two favorite genres. I love the corny, romantic slow burn more than anything. Romance is dead irl and I need some kind of fantasy outlet since I'm a hopeless romantic. I also just love angst cause it causes conflict and helps the characters develop, and I just live for the drama. Besides, after the hurt, comes the comfort. My other favorite genre is dark. I love writing dark things. Junko is a good outlet for that, and I'd love to write despair Gundham sometimes. Also Dark Mikey. Smut, I'm pretty good at writing it, but I need a solid storyline and a slow burn romance that leads up to it. Except maybe for Junko.

plot or memes — I honestly usually just wing stuff haha. I've posted memes but people generally don't send them to start new storylines with me. Since I'm shy, I don't typically approach people to try and plot either v.v But both are great when they happen.

long or short replies — I prefer stuff typically on the longer side(If you can't tell by my blog). I would say my typical replies are 3 paragraphs or so, but I can go longer. I really like to flesh out my muses and their thoughts. I don't expect people to keep up though.

best time to write — Weekends by far. Lately I haven't had time to do anything on my weekdays. Work has been crazy busy so I haven't been able to use the work computer for replies. I work two jobs and commute over 2 hours everyday, (and go to the gym 3 days a week), so I just don't have much time for anything during the week.

are you like your muse — I typically do characters that are vastly different from myself, because I feel like that's the most fun for me. Some similarities though:

I love animals(I'm a vet assistant), and I typically dress goth/alt like Gundham

I tend to be impulsive like Mikey

I'm quite air headed, ditzy, and naive like Fubuki(Not to that extreme at least, but a little bit.)

I tend to be logical, cold, and distant like Makoto. I'm also terrible at asking for help, feeling I have to be the rock and do everything myself. I have to always be strong for everyone else, and never show any weakness.

I have a really rough past full of abuse like Benedikta, and am always fighting an internal darkness.

[darthkvznblogs]

I actually am looking for more PS5 games to buy. A more detailed review/recommendation of Spider-Man 2 would be appreciated if you have the time.

Alright, I'm gonna try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible!

THE PROS:

-Story's great! Perhaps not as emotionally resonant as the first game (they really did knock it out of the park with the Otto-Li-Osborn story), but still very impactful, and I loooved everyone's characterization. The setpieces were freakin' wild, so much more intense than almost anything in the previous entries, but the smaller, quieter moments were also very well done. Dialogues are great, can range from corny to eye-roll worthy, but in such a way that it matches Spider-Man's vibe very well.

-Traversal is the best in the series, with multiple new options that feel seamlessly integrated and a boost to swinging speed that can genuinely get you across the city in just a couple minutes, if that.

-Combat has been streamlined in some ways, deepened in others. YMMV on some on the missing gadgets from previous games, but I found the new ones and the new abilities (and the much simpler activation mechanic, ditching the slow "weapon wheel" style for an L1/R1 + assigned button method) an overall positive change. You kinda need it, because this game has a much steeper difficulty curve than the previous two.

-Aside from some facial oddities (I do find it a bit annoying that they keep changing how Peter looks, and even though it's the same MJ face model she looks super different from the 1st game to me, too, while the characters from Miles' side of the story look better but still perfectly recognizable), game looks incredible. Visual design, costumes, special effects, just all around a gorgeous game, and incredibly well animated, too.

-Practically zero loading times or any sort of performance issue (I did play on the 60 fps performance mode, tho)

THE CONS:

-Some real narrative Choices(TM) are made that could definitely be divisive if you're expecting more of a traditional Spider-Man story. I personally wasn't bothered by most of these (especially as this is its own universe), but I could understand some ruffled feathers.

-The expanded map can get a bit same-y, outside the obvious landmarks, especially with the added speed which blurs things together a bit more.

-Like I said, some facial models/animations kinda dip into uncanny valley territory, at least for me. It's not game breaking, but it could potentially take you out of a scene if you're more bothered by it.

-Less activities/sidequests than the first game (but what's there is very good!)

-This is mildly spoilery, but my biggest complaint with this game is that they got rid of minor but valuable worldbuilding elements like the Twitter-esque social feed or the in-universe character bios. I get that that's a lot of writing that a lot of people are gonna skim or skip, but you want to see people's reactions to the crazy stuff that happens in this game, trust me. Also, if you miss the podcasts or they get cut off when you're swinging around, there's no way to replay them this time around, for some reason? Maybe I just didn't find them?

So, yeah! I think it's an easy 8.5 or 9 out of 10 for me! I had a blast, and even if I don't agree with some of their choices, I respect the hell out of them for making them. Insomniac!Spidey remains my favorite of all the Peters in the Multiverse <3

[sooniebby]

i know i shouldn’t because you and me both want to just leave this discussion be and go about our lives but i cannot help but feel like everyone has misunderstood me-

when i said false hope, i didn’t mean it like you were trying to be “bad” intentionally or anything, i meant it more like people expecting their requests will be done, waiting, it not coming - when they could have just sent it to someone else who actually wanted to write it. nobody should feel pressure to do a request just because it was sent their way. :)

also, someone said that people forget writers have lives outside of tumblr? isn’t that what i said in my last one? because i fully agree with it - i shouldn’t have to agree cause it’s not an opinion, it’s a fact 💀

all i did was ask if it was gonna be done or not. that was all. im sorry if you felt that question was rude, i have asked that before to others and nobody seemed to mind. we all have different feels about stuff, so i get it. please just know that my intentions were NOTHING, but to know wether you were planning to do them or not.

I hope we’re good? and i also hope i didn’t cast the your bnha fans in a bad light, cause that’s not even what i look forward to the most with what you have planned

either way! let’s leave this be, it was a misunderstanding and that’s really all :^

False hope is still crazy tho… cuz I just got back into writing for anime and all the bnha requests I’ve gotten are brand new, from this month

It’s not like it’s been months or something 💀

In any case, everyone is different, some might not find the question rude but I’m not them—just like they aren’t me. I found it rude, even if you weren’t intending to be.

It’s really came down to the way you asked the question—that’s all there is to it. Cuz you can have a non rude question in theory and it can still come off as rude no matter your original intention.

Also, just one thing to keep in mind, don’t say “I’m sorry if you…” in an apology lolol—cuz it ain’t if, i did feel that way

That should be the end of it <3 water under the bridge

[terubakudan]

Sup. xD

No, but really. Hi guys! Long time no see.

I see that Tumblr's changed, and believe me I'm re-learning how to use it. xD

So, um...usual life update I guess, you don't have to read this but I have to get this out of my system or I'll go crazy xD.

Honestly I really miss blogging and talking about fandoms, hobbies and whatnot. It's literally been over a year since I last blogged and there's a reason for that: literally no work-life balance at my old job. I say 'old' because I finally quit this year!! I'm really glad to be out of that soul-sucking hellhole xD For reference, I used to work at one of the Big Four accounting firms as an auditor, think hard before going in haha. The pay may be good...but at what cost?

For a while even when I left I couldn't stop thinking about work, I would always worry that there's something that hasn't been finished yet, and believe me at that kind of job the workload is endless Orz. On the plus side I did get experience, but I'm waaayyyy more glad to be out than in, believe me guys, work-life balance is something that everyone should have, I don't know what it's like in other countries (do feel free to share, I'm quite curious) but there's a reason so many foreign professionals choose not to work in Taiwan:

The pay is low. Especially compared to Japan and South Korea. As of now minimum wage is NTD 26,400 (USD 836) per month, and NTD 176 (USD) per hour, the thing is it's seriously not keeping up with inflation here. Bento used to cost NTD 60~70 when I was in college! Now it's NTD 90~100 on average.

Hours are long. Not all jobs are like this, but you are expected to do overtime without additional pay in most.

A lot of bosses here just...don't know leadership skills? Like they know how to work, but are awful at teaching and leading subordinates. Both Mom and I complain that the EQ of some locals is quite low ^^" No seriously, you do something well and somehow it's always your fault xD People here can be too materialistic sometimes and don't spend enough time on enriching themselves and others. It's really the fault of long work hours as well as the cram school culture here.

So yeah..welp.

My new job (accounting staff at a SME) may be lower pay but at least I get to come home earlier now, which honestly is a relief. Also weekends off. You'd be extremely lucky to get a weekend off at the old job xD

In a way, my Dad spoiled our family xD Because he was too nice we got really used to this rosy portrait of Taiwan and the locals xD But yeah, Mom, Bro and I will find ways to carry on.

Well enough about that! I hope everyone's getting on well with their lives, even when it's tough, there are always ways to carry on. ╰(*´︶`*)╯

I haven't been 100% offline actually xD Just a lot of lurking xD

Some things I've been up to:

You are now looking at a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fan xD JJBA lives in my head rent-free and I don't regret it at all, I want to slap past me for not following JoJo sooner, especially as an avid fan of music and fashion. My brother’s pestering of me to watch it finally came to. I don't read manga, have watched Parts 1~6 (and made my Mom watch it with me ha xD she practically got almost all the music references xD) and am excited for a Part 7 anime!! Which could take forever sadly :( Along with Arcane Season 2, it’s been a while since there’s a show that I really look forward to watching, what with the current state of TV and movies nowadays. Too much on content and not enough on quality or well, basic storytelling even.

But I'm sad that I can't go to JOJO WORLD. QQ I really have a knack for getting into things too late.

My personal ranking: 2>5>3>4>1>6. This is just personal favoritism xD Each part has their own strengths and weaknesses and the writing in later parts is better as Araki has really matured as a mangaka and writer. But Part 2 is amazing. Period. I will not have it any other way. Special mention goes to this guy for simultaneously stealing my heart and *ahem* crushing (sorry) it, I have only cried for him:

He and Joseph should kiss.

2. I got into gaming again! Thank Steam really for letting lots of players save money on not having to buy separate consoles xD I got my brother to help me invest in a good gaming laptop, and it's just lovely. Some of my favorite games:

METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE

I got to experience Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and my god it's a MASTERPIECE. The OST also is just *chef's kiss*. The composer really did a great job with the music. The animation that plays every time Raiden uses Zandatsu is an absolute joy to watch xD My brother introduced this game to me through the memes, and he immediately regretted it when it was all I could talk about for a while xD But god slicing a Metal Gear in two while Rules of Nature plays in the background, how can you not squee?! xD

Mind you this is the tutorial boss xD I highly recommend this game, pure unadulterated adrenaline rush xD It’s so over-the-top and unapologetic, and just damn cool.

SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE

I also beat Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. And as of now, it's still the best sense of achievement that I got from a game, it's the most difficult game I've ever played and let me tell you guys I'm good friends with the death screen xD

The adrenaline rush I got from beating Genichiro for the first time (and throwing the lightning back at him!!) as well as beating Sword Saint Isshin was unreal. At some point, the gameplay for me clicked, and it was immensely satisfying being able to perfectly parry the enemy's attacks. The clanging of swords is a sound that I absolutely love.

Though fuck Demon of Hatred xD. Joke I love the Sculptor character who I affectionately call 'Sculptor Dad' but come on you had to unlearn the game's combat system just to beat him. I agree that he's more of a Dark Souls boss than a Sekiro one.

Well deserving of 2019 Game of the Year 👏

DEVIL MAY CRY V

So you can probably see by now that I love action and hack and slash games xD I used to play Devil May Cry 3 when I was a teenager and even watched the Madhouse anime, the over-the-top-ness and Dante's quips won me over. Dante’s even the whole reason why I tried strawberries and now I love them xD So! It was only natural that I wanted to play DMCV, and I wasn't disappointed.

There’s a total of 4 characters you can play as, each with their own SSStylish gameplay, and I had lots of fun just sending the demons into the air while the extremely enthusiastic cast cheers me on xD

Also V is that Edgy Guy who’s a hit with the ladies xD My brother hates him but I adore him. He even said that I’m a sucker for the “starving artist” types xD Well…

HOW CAN I NOT BE A SUCKER QQ That smirk, dear god.

HADES

0:34 sold me haha 😂

You play as this really sexy Prince of Hell with daddy issues.

While Sekiro would frustrate me sometimes with constantly dying, every time I died in Hades it encouraged me to keep on playing, as whenever you die it actually advances the plot and unlocks new dialogue with the various characters, who are based on Greek mythology. If anything the game encourages you to die xD There was a time I was so determined to make it to the surface and when I did it was the next morning already xD

The art by Jen Zee is also just extremely gorgeous, and the OST by Darren Korb (who also voices Zagreus) is amazing. I also recommend Supergiant’s other games Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre. They are one of the best indie game developers out there. They put a lot of heart into their games, which is something a lot of AAA games lack nowadays.

Also I headcanon that Zagreus listens to Coldrain while hacking and slashing through hell. It just seems like a band he would listen to xD

And not to forget, but thank Supergiant for giving the option to romance this really sexy grim reaper xD I'm a sucker for the 'tsundere' types too, and let me tell you every bottle of gifted nectar and ambrosia was worth it. When he finally realized his feelings weren't unnecessary I squeeed.

DISCO ELYSIUM

Last but not least, an underrated gem.

Disco Elysium is one of those games that shouldn’t exist, and boy am I glad that it does.

It’s a choose your adventure game in which you play as a detective trying to solve a murder case with your partner, all the while getting to know the seaside town of Martinaise. Which once you get to explore it, isn't really that big and yet somehow feels huge, there's a whole fictional history that was created for it and for places outside Martinaise even, the worldbuilding for this game is insane. It also seems very real and similar to our own and yet it's all fictional, I really admire that level of detail.

I actually first heard of this game through an artist I follow on Tumblr, who draws True Detective and Disco Elysium fanart. I adore the first season of True Detective and never knew that MartyxRust does things to me. Read reviews about this so-called "True Detective/The Wire-inspired" game and was sold.

Also the developers really hit it out of the park with Kim Kitsuragi, god I love Kim 😭 One of the best companions that you can have out there. Whenever I felt bad and by extension made my player character feel bad (the game is choice-based, there's even an achievement called 'World's Sorriest Cop' xD), Kim would always be helpful and encouraging and god just the sweetest.

The humor in the game is also something I just found so charming, and the voice acting is perfect for every character, I find myself having fun mimicking the voices a lot. I kept pestering my brother to play this game, and his Evrart Claire impression is so spot-on, I myself like to impersonate the Fritte clerk with my 'm'kays' xD

Oh, and you can start a nightclub at a church. And believe me when you experience this scene in the game, it is glorious.

3. I had one of those 'happiest days in your life' moments: I went to see the GazettE's MASS final concert in Japan!! And the crazy thing is I specifically flew in just to see them, I was there in Japan for the concert and went home the next day. At the time I had booked my airline ticket thinking I would still be clocking in to my old job on Monday and well, I never thought I would quit xD

And silly me never thought that even Japanese trains could be late (the local trains at least), I was almost late to the 05:30 PM assembly time xD

By the time I got to the Budokan I was confused by the lack of banners and signs at the entrance at first, then I saw this procession of people in black heading to MASS (ha) and just knew. xD

And I thought I was the only one silly enough to fly to another country for a concert, then I heard Mandarin, English, Spanish in the crowd and thought: 'ah, music really brings people together'. It was beautiful.

Seeing the bouquet with the 'From overseas fans (Overseas fans より)' made me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Too shy to take my own picture xD But glad to know I'm not the only one extremely happy to be there.

I tried to take a picture of this Uruha banner and it just kept flapping in the wind like Uruha during the heavier songs, so I just gave up xD

The setlist for that night, when they played Miseinen (未成年) I think I started tearing up QQ Frankly the whole night was so surreal I couldn't stop thinking about what I experienced on my way back to the hotel. And I stayed at a capsule hotel for the first time! Specifically this one.

The song they played after the concert was an instrumental version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door, and it was absolutely lovely. They even teased a trailer for a new release next year(!!) and a trailer for their Christmas concert A HYMN OF THE CRUCIFIXION ver.2

Their trailers are needless to say, cinematic. I'm sad that they removed all their older trailers off YouTube though :(

As of writing this, there are still stuff I want to share and fangirl about, but unfortunately I have to wake up to a job tomorrow xD If I could, I'd spend my days just doing what I love and not having to deal with stupidity at work. I just want to say I'm glad that there are things in life to enjoy and make going through the daily grind even just a bit easier :)
